Sylvia Rivera a Radio Onda Rossa (by anarcofrocio)
I’m gonna need a little more context for this to think its ok but…. This is really amazing.
context: this contestant came out as trans in the middle of the show (she stayed on that week) (first contestant to come out actually on the show instead of during the after-season reunion episode). this was the season finale and they brought back all the season’s eliminated contestants and asked them questions and stuff. she was asked the above because “now, people sometimes get confused about the difference between drag and being transgender so we were wondering if you could clear some things up for the viewers”
a lot of drag contests don’t allow trans people to compete, and there’s been a lot of rumor that RuPaul’s Drag Race does not allow trans people to compete. i feel like this segment was put in to clear things up and to let people know that is not the case.
the show does a lot of fucked-up things (including a pun on a slur that is used EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE), so i wouldn’t give it a pass per say, but i feel like the way trans women competitors have been treated on the show overall is surprisingly ok.
perfy!! Thanks so much for the info :)

I wish I knew Zachi Teleshia before I heard about his passing because at such a young age, he gets it.
He understood the power of comic books to somebody like him. Zachi was a fan of comics, loved them, grew inspiration from them, and wanted to make his own. And he did. He created and wrote his own comic series, Hero Up! all before the age of 10.
Then you see what Zachi has gone through. His birth mother murdered by his birth father was one thing. In 2008, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a cancer that affects the bones. Zachi created a character as an alter-ego for himself, Venom-Transporter, the leader who could gain strength from any toxin.
From what I read about him, he seemed like a typical kid, a happy, fun-loving individual who loved to create and help out anybody that he could.
Zachi Telesha died on April 29, 2013 at the age of 12. It’s not He may have found inspiration in comics, but as a comics fan and creator, I’m finding a lot of inspiration in him.
Rest in comfort and peace, little man.
